New York City may be covered in glitzy skyscrapers, but it holds an exciting past worth delving into. Slated to open on November 18th, The Museum of the City of New York’s new, comprehensive exhibit, New York At Its Core will chronicle 400 years of our city’s history, beginning with its humble rise from a Dutch village. To celebrate the occasion, the MCNY is inviting you to “Gotham Groove: 32 Hours of Nonstop NYC,” an overnight, weekend-long event, featuring live performances, films, dance, and more.
